The PS3 not performing as bad as some claim?

[Kwaad]

MikeB said: I don't think all game developers are lazy, especially not many coming from an Amiga background like the guys at Factor 5 (of Turrican fame, developing Lair for the PS3 right now). The classic Amiga is still popular within the demoscene, such developers tend to push every little ounce of performance out of ancient hardware configurations and actually have fun doing so. Look at this as a rewarding challenge. For instance the people behind Max Payne/FutureMark (demoscene group MatureFurk) made an excellent demo for the Amiga in 2001 winning the Assembly competition, the biggest demoscene event around the world. Lapsuus demo 50 mhz 68k Amiga with an AGA chipset (released in 1992): http://youtube.com/watch?v=2aoIsWxGWHQ For instance regarding Jorge (Jürgen Schober) a SW engineer posting at AmigaWorld, who also toured an early version of AmigaOS4 around Europe in 2003: Article here He is very excited about the Cell since he got his PS3 (he moved to the US), he thinks the Cell is a lot of fun to experiment with and offers lots of potential. He also thinks Linux already runs well on the PS3, OS4 should run even better since it better optimized to run efficiently (already runs on an old Amiga 1200 released in 1992, expanded with 166Mhz PPC and 128 MB, ancient video).

I havent seen that one before. Sure blows the PS1 out of the water graphically.
